MHI is delighted to announce that U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner will give the keynote address at this year’s Congress & Expo.

Secretary Turner is the 19th HUD Secretary. In his nomination hearing, he identified the availability and affordability of manufactured housing as a key priority, including eliminating undue regulatory burdens. Recently, Secretary Turner teamed with the Secretary of the Interior to form a Joint Task Force on Federal Land for Housing.

During President Trump’s first term, Secretary Turner served as the Executive Director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council (WHORC) and led the interagency Opportunity Zones Initiative. He worked with state, local, tribal and territorial governments to revitalize economically distressed areas, promote affordable housing and the creation new businesses.

In his previous role at the White House, Secretary Turner visited three manufactured homes on the National Mall during HUD’s Innovative Housing Showcase in 2019 and complimented MHI and the manufactured housing industry for its innovation and creativity. See a video of his remarks below.
